counterpoint: why do we need an "objective" way to diagnose people? Wouldn't it be better to largely ditch mental diagnoses (at least for autism and adhd) in favour of directly providing treatment for the symptoms?

Why should it matter what your brain looks like if you have symptoms that cause issues?

    Pro tip: the next time you start getting a cold, get a pomelo or two, and continously snack on it while you sit at home being miserable.
    It's a great way to get both water and easily-digested energy into your body, which is otherwise difficult because water tastes like shit and the digestive system tends to be put into standby mode while the body routes all power to defense systems.
    In my experience it makes me feel at least 10% better. Combine it with pain meds and nose spray and a cold is almost bearable.
